Could a single cell infusion free liver transplant patients from lifelong drugs?

This study tested whether giving liver transplant patients a special immune cell infusion before surgery could help them safely stop taking anti-rejection drugs. Sixteen low-risk patients received the infusion and were slowly weaned off their medications over a year if they met certain criteria. The goal was to see if the body could accept the new liver without long-term drugs, but patients who succeeded still needed monitoring for three years.
